Why does Islam seem to breed so much hatred?

Timothy McVeigh? Are we just including murderers and throwing them under a relgious banner because religion is the fun thing to attack these days? You are undoubtedly one of our present day atheist of agnostic know it alls who think that the Catholic church attacked blatantly innocent people and bunch all religions together; you find yourself to be one of the special truly enlightened people of our society, bringing the truth to people one false relgion at a time. Well, sir, you may think yourself a great philsopher of a "man of science", but indeed you are a wart to the hand of society. I'm sure you enjoy that imagery, actually. In any event, read the truly wise words of someone you are clearly to enlightened to have read yourself. Naturally everything I think could be entirely wrong, though I doubt it.

For we must remember that the materialist philosophy (whether true or not) is certainly much more limiting than any religion. In one sense, of course, all intelligent ideas are narrow. They cannot be broader than themselves. A Christian is only restricted in the same sense that an atheist is restricted. He cannot think Christianity false and continue to be a Christian; and the atheist cannot think atheism false and continue to be an atheist. But as it happens, there is a very special sense in which materialism has more restrictions than spiritualism. Mr. McCabe thinks me a slave because I am not allowed to believe in determinism. I think Mr. McCabe a slave because he is not allowed to believe in fairies. But if we examine the two vetoes we shall see that his is really much more of a pure veto than mine. The Christian is quite free to believe that there is a considerable amount of settled order and inevitable development in the universe. But the materialist is not allowed to admit into his spotless machine the slightest speck of spiritualism or miracle. Poor Mr. McCabe is not allowed to retain even the tiniest imp, though it might be hiding in a pimpernel. The Christian admits that the universe is manifold and even miscellaneous, just as a sane man knows that he is complex. The sane man knows that he has a touch of the beast, a touch of the devil, a touch of the saint, a touch of the citizen. Nay, the really sane man knows that he has a touch of the madman. But the materialist's world is quite simple and solid, just as the madman is quite sure he is sane. The materialist is sure that history has been simply and solely a chain of causation, just as the interesting person before mentioned is quite sure that he is simply and solely a chicken. Materialists and madmen never have doubts.-

I'm not confused buddy. I'll try illustrate my opinions as that only.

Yeah, because she says everything the modern-day Crusaders want to hear. Read any critic of any religion, if you want to hear bashing. Her story is not any more valid than the millions of Muslims who live in peace. Islam became the fastest growing / most sought out religion in America after 9/11 - people want to really know about it, and not just from its detractors.

Its called the ripple effect.

Once upon a time some 800 years ago there once laid the most powerful Empire in the entire world only rivaling to China. The name of this Empire was The Ottoman Empire. They were more educated than any European country and they were far more advanced technologically as well as economically. It was said that their civilization was so advanced that if you were to leave a purse on the ground that it would be there the very next day. Thievery was not known to the Ottomans. Aside from being more advanced they also had a high toleration to other Religions. If you were a Christian or a Jew you only had to pay a low tax and you could live in peace with everyone. Meanwhile on the European side. If you were a Jew or a Muslim you were slaughtered, persecuted and executed by Christians. So in part Muslims at one point in time had a high toleration for Christians and Jews. Now we fast forward it a bit to the 1600s. Columbus had discovered America for the European nations, The Dutch were gaining more and more power through the East India Company, Louis XIV had started a war with Spain that was draining the Dutch Economically and most of the European nations were seeking more expansion and means to keep up with the other surrounding nations. However many Ottomans felt they were straying away from the Qur'ān and their beliefs. So a mighty society at one time started to regress instead of expand and evolve. They were not the only ones tho China was also regressing. China believed they were the center of the Universe and that they had everything they needed right there. As Europe expanded and colonized the Americas the Ottomans faild to keep up millitarily. Now we speed up the time to 1776, America was now an independent Nation and many French who faught with the Americans in the Revolutionary war came home with a new found love for Revolution. It wasn’t to long after before the French started their own Revolution and a man named Napolean came into power. During his reing Napolean had sold the Louisiana purchase to the Americans defeated the Ottomans at Egypt and lost a half a million people to the invation of Russia. Durring this time the Ottomans became weaker and weaker and refused to use any advancements that the Europeans had during warfare. Also because of lack of expantion and trade the Ottomans were getting weaker Economicly while the Europeans where getting stronger. The Ottomans lack of income had resulted to plundering ships from European countries as well as holding the captives for ransom. Also the Current Parsha of Tripoli Yussif Karamanli exiled his Brother Hammet and the Ottoman empire continued to loose its foothold in Northern parts of Africa. In 1805 America was getting annoyed of the constant overseas skirmishes braught on by the Barbary Pirates and finally invaded North Africa. A man named General William Eaton led a collalition of a few US Marines, Greek and a lot of hired Mercenaries to invade Tripoli and over throw Yussif Karamanli and replace him with his brother Hammet. In the end the US was succesfull in stopping the Barbary Pirates but stopped just short of the shores of Tripoli. Congress had oredered General Eaton and his men to evacuate. By doing so the US left all the mercenaries to die including Hammet and his followers. Hammet was once again exiled to Egypt where he died 3 years later. Because of this a deep hatred was left for America. The US finally put a stop to the Barbary pirates in 1815, shortly after the war of 1812. Exactly 99 years later 1914. War breaks out in Europe and a World War was started. England was trying to find more troops for the war like Russia was trying to find more guns. England then turn to the Jewish populas and offer them a home to call their own if they help England with the war effort. It was 1918, the war was finaly over and the Ottoman empire was no more. America had sealed off its borders with imigrants and Russia had collapsed to a new Radical form of Government. Which left England to uphold their end of the bargain and give the Jewish people a home to call their own. Palistine. The problem was there were people already living in Palistine, mostly Muslims. And since then there has been a huge unrest between the Jewish and Muslim people. It also doesn’t help that many of these people hold long hard grudges. So if you ever wanted to know where the hatred came from and where did it all start. Now you know and you heard it hear first.

Apparently the OP has never heard of the Crusades.
